Toxic - Public Enemy

Can’t sing a song to save your life

But can you sing a song to save a life

Can a song save the world in this time of 45

45 beyond askin'

Can hip hop survive?

Over a million rappers spittin' now

What we the people be gettin'

Forgettin' armaggedon

Look out love is the message you can bet on

Can culture save humanity when the name of the game

Is narcissism, yo how can musicians get paid?

Curator, caretaker, this creator

Servicing purpose to other creators

Rhymers and beat makers

Blessed by the internet

So I’mma start this war of art

Before they rip this world apart

Toxic

Toxic, see em

Sell it and box it

Savage, they

Say we can’t stop it

Flav, PE, rock it

Antetokounmpo

No, Mutombo I blocks it

Toxic, see em

Sell it and box it

Savage, they

Say we can’t stop it

Flav, PE, rock it

Antetokounmpo

No, Mutombo I blocks it

Looks like 45 done lied again

Grabbin' planets, territories

Not to mention women

Those who voted this POTUS

Killin' kin for the win

Citizens sufferin'

While he be ballin'

If a mule die, they used to say

Buy another one

If a nigga die, they used to say

Try another one

Fifty years we were broke, not broken

Take me to your leader

Even aliens spoke it

Every treaty signed

Their fuckery broke it

Wonder why only a few of us

Thrive as their tokens

Toke this toke that

No joke cause I wrote it

The only thing I hit is the stage, and I smoke it

Yo that

That shit sounded good on the record, what you just did, ahah

Toxic, see em

Sell it and box it

Savage, they

Say we can’t stop it

Flav, PE, rock it

Antetokounmpo

No, Mutombo I blocks it

Toxic, see em

Sell it and box it

Savage, they

Say we can’t stop it

Flav, PE, rock it

Antetokounmpo

No, Mutombo I blocks it

Hindsight 57

So I’m stayin' in my lane

As the young think in hell

And the old prey to pain

This shit is classic like the resurgence

Of the dope on plastic

Vinyl bats backin' the tracks

The millennium’s drastic

Synthetic bullshit smokin' up the hood

Bear witness cause y’all know the government’s up to no good

You can’t drift away from the problems of today

If you’re grown 21 and over, tell me where the hell you goin'

Suicidal with an open Bible

Lockdown friendly fire

Or HBO, Home Boys Only, I really never really dug the Wire

They do no hirin'

He keep on firin'

We keep dyin'

The aftermath

Do the math

Toxic!
